Her tone was neutral, devoid of any emotion, just a normal wife asking about the new business from her husband.
But Lance Hua's response was bitey, he said, "You don't need to know." His lips were pulled taut into a sharp line.

"Why can't I know?"
"Same reason as why you don't need to show your face to the court," Lance Hua said in a more urging tone, as though he wished Chiaki to end her incessant questions and get on with her day leaving him alone.
